Did Andy Cohen's bold question to Shaq cross the line, or was it all in good fun?

Several talk show hosts, including Jimmy Kimmel, would agree that the Big Aristotle is the best guest. He’s always candid with his answers, and his humor is a welcome addition. Without mincing words, his honesty has always been highly appreciated by fans, even during his regular appearances on Inside the NBA. In fact, that has been the case since his playing days. However, one talk show host was initially hesitant to have Shaquille O’Neal on the program, as he reminisced about one NSFW incident a decade later.

And the reason was quite odd. The well-known TV host Andy Cohen had some doubts when Shaq was invited in 2014. While revealing his top five scariest guests on the latest episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, the host named Shaq, admitting he was nervous about accidentally asking an inappropriate question to the 4x NBA champion.

“I’m counting down the top five people I was most scared to have on Watch. Coming in at number five, it’s Shaq because I wasn’t sure I had the balls to ask him how big his d**k is. Nevertheless, I persisted,” Cohen confessed on the latest episode of his show. Going back to the episode when they had Shaq over, it isn’t surprising to see how the NBA legend is now on the list of the top 5 scariest guests for Cohen.

Despite his efforts to avoid doing so, Cohen ended up asking the exact question he was worried about while sitting next to Shaq. “Your shoe size is 23. How big is your d**k?” Cohen asked. O’Neal simply took off his shoes. Nothing more. He then placed his shoes closer to his inner thighs as his response, leaving viewers in stitches.

Following the episode, Cohen even tweeted, “Asking @SHAQ how big his d**k is was the scariest thing I have ever done #wwhl #PleadTheFifth.” This isn’t the first time Shaq has gone above and beyond with his answers, though. No one more than the Miami Heat stars have had to bear the worst of it.

Shaquille O’Neal recalled being naked while chasing former teammate

Speaking on The Big Podcast a few months ago, the NBA legend revealed a surprising story about chasing his former teammate Dorell Wright around the locker room, completely naked.

Have an interesting take?

The 4x champion recalled how Wright was a lot like him and enjoyed cracking jokes, which is probably why Wright didn’t take him seriously. When Shaq asked Wright to do something and he didn’t follow through, O’Neal decided to teach him a lesson at a time.

“So I told him (Wright) to do something; he didn’t do it, and like he’s also similar to me cause he’s a jokester, he thought I was playing, so I said yo man, and I chased him around the locker room. I was butt naked,” Shaq revealed on the podcast.

We can imagine why Cohen is still haunted by the experience. And why it’s often suggested not to mess with the Big Aristotle.
